Take the road less traveled and visit a forgotten place…

When one creates a travel bucket list, locations such as Paris, Rome, or Tokyo might pop up. That’s because we, as humans, tend to go to locations where there is a familiar history that we already understand. In other words, a familiar unfamiliar setting.

But what about those that are interested in going to places that are literally, forgotten, by the rest of the travel busy world? Insert BBC’s recent story on “Forgotten countries of the world.”

To places like Comoros, Africa, which used to be frequented by travelers as they rounded the South Africa tip.

A location can make a difference while traveling but what can really make that “perfect” vacation is knowing how to have the experience you truly want.
